Math Problem Statement

Solve the equation x^2 - 2x = 0

Solution

The equation provided in the image is:

x22x=0x^2 - 2x = 0

Solution:

We can solve this by factoring the equation.

  1. Factor out the common term xx: x(x2)=0x(x - 2) = 0

  2. Set each factor equal to zero: x=0orx2=0x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 2 = 0

  3. Solving for xx in the second equation: x=2x = 2

Thus, the solutions to the equation are: x=0orx=2x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2

Would you like more details on the factoring process or any other steps?
